Business
Overview
A German
importer of hardware and building materials.
This company has an engineering development and testing center in Germany, an office in Singapore, and a team of inspectors located in Shanghai, China. Most of their 100 suppliers are located in China.
Major
Issues
Prior to employing QIT Supplier Quality Management System, the company did not utilize a computerized system for the handling of their inspection standards and inspection records.
The engineering center in Germany complained that the inspection team was using the wrong inspection standards and lost tons of money on defective parts
The engineering team in Shanghai complained that the Engineer Team did not provide an up-to-date inspection standard and in some cases, some products don't even have product Spec’s and inspection standards.
